A Chinese teacher has been detained after she was caught on video abusing her young pupils by slapping and kicking them repeatedly. The shocking video shows the female teacher slapping four children more than 120 times in half-an-hour.

According to the Daily Mail, the 30 minute CCTV footage was recorded at a kindergarten in the Yingze District of the capital Taiyuan, north Shanxi Province.

According to the Xinhua news agency, the police have detained the female teacher. She has been placed under a 15-day administrative detention.

Xinhua news agency reports that Mr Han, father of one of the pupils, said he found his daughter's face swollen with bruises on October 15. According to the Daily Mail, the incident came to light at the school after Mr. Han visited and demanded to see the CCTV tapes. The tapes showed the teacher abusing four pupils, Mr Han's daughter and three other children.

The children angered the teacher because they could not add double-digits correctly. Mr. Han said: "The teacher asked my daughter to add numbers more than ten. My daughter told her that she can't solve it, and then the teacher slapped her."

Mr Han said in shock: "Within a short half-an-hour she slapped my daughter 43 times and kicked her twice." The teacher reportedly slapped the other children 43 times, 27 times and ten times respectively.

Han concluded angrily: "‘She should not be a teacher. She is a monster!"

Han said that was not the first time that his daughter had returned home from school with her face bruised. He said he assumed that she had been injured while playing with her school mates. He said: "The teacher asked my daughter to add numbers more than ten. My daughter told her that she can't solve it, and then the teacher slapped her."

Xinhua news agency reports the teacher has been questioned and dismissed from the school.
